Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

"Madam, you are right. We have come today precisely because of your illness. Please forgive our ignorance yesterday; we had no prior knowledge of such a method of saving lives and were hesitant. We hope you will forgive us."

Yesterday, after Young Master Jun and his wife left, I told Madam about this method. Madam is decisive and insightful; she immediately decided to give it a try. Therefore, today I brought Madam and Cheng'er here to discuss this matter with Madam Jun.

“Father is absolutely right. Madam, we are willing to cooperate with the treatment method you mentioned yesterday. Please do so.”

"Lady Gu..."

Gu Nanzhi was still surprised. First, she was surprised that this family arrived so quickly, and now she was surprised that Madam Xu had made the decision first.

A smile appeared on Gu Nanzhi's lips.

"This method does sound terrifying, after all, who would want to survive having surgery on their head? But since you've all chosen to trust me, I will do my utmost to create a miracle for you. Speaking of which, Madam Xu is truly admirable."

Don't worry, I'm 80% confident about this."

"Thank you for your trouble, Madam Jun."

"Madam Jun, thank you. Please feel free to ask if you need anything, whether it's anything you need to prepare or any medicinal herbs you require..."

"Miss Gu, I'm begging you,"

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you a healthy and complete mother. However, at that time, I may need to help you promote our Nanshan Hall Medical Clinic, which is not yet open."

"That's for sure, that's for sure."

"Lady Gu, even without this incident, I would still have helped promote Nanshan Hall..."

"Thank you in advance."

Gu Nanzhi interjected with a digression, then returned to the topic.

"Now that we've made the decision, let's discuss what we need to prepare."

"Please speak, Madam Jun."

"Actually, there's no need for any preparations. Madam Xu still needs some rest and recuperation before undergoing craniotomy. My Nanshan Hall is currently making preparations, and it will be completed soon."

"Madam Xu's craniotomy will then be performed at Nanshan Hall. All you need to do now is follow my prescription, take the medicine, and eat the right diet to get your bodies into the best possible condition, which will increase the chances of success..."

"Cangling, fetch the brush and ink."

"Yes, ma'am."

"I'll prescribe a new formula for Madam Xu, and also write down some dietary restrictions for you..."

"Then I'll trouble you, Madam."

"You're welcome. Besides that, there are some medicinal herbs that you'll need to prepare."

Saving lives is one thing, but the cost of the medicine still needs to be collected.

"No problem, Madam Jun, please speak."

It took nearly half an hour to discuss and finalize everything. With the important matters covered, it was time to go eat.

"Alright, that's all, Mrs. Xu. Now you can relax and leave the rest to me."

"Madam Jun, thank you,"

"Of course, alright, is everything alright now? If everything's alright, you must all be hungry, so please move back to the Cooking Smoke Pavilion for your meal."

"Alright, alright, Young Master Jun, Madam Jun, please."

"please"

They weren't hungry, but Gu Nanzhi was. If they hadn't come, she would have stayed home and cooked something for herself today.

But with so many people coming, Cuiyanlou is the most reliable place. We don't have to do anything ourselves, and since she's the owner, she can order whatever she wants.

Why bother cooking yourself when you have a cook?

The group returned to the Cuiyanlou restaurant through the back door, following Gu Nanzhi up to private room number one on the third floor. Cang Ling went directly to the kitchen to arrange for the dishes to be served.

Among these were three dishes that Gu Nanzhi had specifically instructed her to prepare for Madam Xu alone.

"Please have a seat, everyone. The food will be served shortly."

"please,"

They sat down and drank tea, chatted, and then the others served dishes, including hot pot. This was the third time Xu Chengzhi and his group had eaten there.

But this was Xu Huanshan's first time, so he was somewhat looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, Madam Xu could not eat with them.

"Madam Xu, you need to avoid certain foods right now. I've had the chef prepare three dishes just for you, they'll be served shortly."

After you've fully recovered, if you're interested, come back to the shop. I'll treat you, Madam, to all the delicious food here."

"Your Madam is so thoughtful and considerate. I will definitely make sure to patronize your establishment in the future."

The meal lasted quite a while. After they finished eating, the Xu family left, and Gu Nanzhi and Jun Yanchen also went home first.

Later that evening, Bai Zang and Ren Shuqing returned, and Gu Nanzhi called them over again.

"Bai Zang, Shu Qing, the Xu family is here today. They've decided to perform brain surgery, so Bai Zang, you need to keep things in order at Nanshan Hall. If there are any problems, just let us know."

"You've arrived today?"

Not only was Gu Nanzhi surprised at the time, but Bai Zang was also surprised. How could a decision be made in just one night?

"Yes, they've arrived, even faster than I expected, so we need to get the operating room at Nanshan Hall ready as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master, I will do it as soon as possible."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

"Know"

"How is Xiao Shuqing doing? Has she memorized the acupoints?"

"Master, your disciple is foolish and still falls short."

"Hmm, it's okay, take your time."

------

The Cuiyanlou restaurant is now open for business as usual, and Ren Shuyi, the young manager, is doing a very good job. The boy is smart and has a knack for business.

As for treating Madam Xu's illness, it's not the right time yet.

Therefore, Gu Nanzhi and Jun Yanchen prepared to return to the village, and it had been several days since they had gone back.

Only Zhou Cai and Ren Shuyuan were at home. They were a large, wealthy family in the village, with land and poultry; they needed to go back and keep an eye on them.

They can go back whenever they want.

On the fifteenth day of the eleventh lunar month, early in the morning, they packed up many supplies and prepared to return to the village.

Of course, they didn't return to the village in a large group. Everyone else stayed behind to do things. Only Gu Nanzhi, Jun Yanchen, Cang Ling, Steward Li, and Xia He went back this time.

As for Leng Yun, Leng Yue, Ren Shuyi, Bai Zang, and the others, they are currently focused on their main tasks in the city and it is not appropriate for them to go back to the village and do nothing all day.

Accompanying them were Wu Huiwen and her two children, who also took a day off to go home and visit their families.

"We're going back. Things in the city are up to you now."

"Yes, Miss, Young Master,"

"Master"

Zhou Cai and Ren Shuqing have been staying at home these past few days, mainly looking after the house, reading, and doing their own things. Of course, they are also worried about things in the city.

But even large families need people to live with them.

So, after getting up early this morning, the two ate breakfast together, practiced martial arts, and then went to tend to the poultry they kept at home.

After finishing all these things, I sat down to read a book.

Around 9 AM, Gu Nanzhi and the others returned home. This unexpected return to the village greatly excited Zhou Cai and Ren Shuyuan.

Hearing the sound of the carriage, he put down what he was holding and ran out of the courtyard.
